Use of venovenous extra-corporal membrane oxygenation in acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary to surgical air embolism: A favorable outcome case report
Acuteness of judgment, understanding, and prompt response is required to diagnose and successfully treat pulmonary air embolism. In this report, we will discuss the occurrence, diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of acute pulmonary air embolism in an operative setting. To date successful treatment of air embolism through venovenous extracorporeal membranous oxygenation, secondary to neurosurgical procedure has not been reported.
